Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
Investing for Beginners
Carl Hitoshi · 2019
58/100
👎 Skip It
Hitoshi covers a lot of ground — stocks, forex, futures, crypto — in plain language that genuinely helps total beginners get their footing. But readers report thin depth on any one topic plus real editing and formatting mistakes, and one reviewer flagged it as more forex-heavy than the title promises. Fine as a first taste, not a book I'd call a must-read.
